Welcome and congrats on the two months! I've been "experimenting" with diy the last couple months and have to say I'm very pleased. Saves a bundle and like my very simple blends.

artt can i ask you a question ??

do you have to mix pg with vg?? or can u just use pg??

Hi Eastwood, you don't have to mix pg/vg but you need your fifth post to get to ask in DIY eliquid section.
DIY E-Liquid

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

You'll find flavorless nic in Canada but it's quite expensive. DIY'ing for over a yr but got all my stuff from the U.S.
juice Components
Flavoring usually about 15%- could be higher or lower depending on the flavor used.
PG enhances flavor, TH and lung hit- water like
VG= vapor and can mute flavor- thick
Nicotine- TH, lung hit and our need for nicotine. The MOST important ingredient in regards to TH and lung hit.
Standards in the industry are 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG. I vape 70/ 30 PG/ VG.

so i will have to get vg for sure or my mix will not vapor??!!

Hi, welcome to ECF! I'm looking forward to DIY e-liquid too.

PG will produce vapor just not as good as VG.
I would visit the DIY section before i bought anything though. The ratios vapoor gave are standard. Some do 100% for different reasons.

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

You can add whatever you wish...too much VG and sometimes wicking issues- too much PG and sometimes leaking issues. If you're happy with your PG/ VG ratio it's all good. What is your present PG/ VG ratio? PG and VG can be bought at Shoppers Pharmacy cheaply. VG ($6.00- 250 ml)in the First Aid Section. PG ( $9.00- 500 ml) special order...if they ask tell them you're either making candles or non allergenic soap.

so i will have to get vg for sure or my mix will not vapor??!!

Essentially what you've listed there already is everything you need... The ratio you mix of VG & PG is really just personal preference and what works best with your set up. I have vaped straight PG and straight VG and the differences between.

Looking at which creates more vapour aside, the most important difference in my opinion is which flows better with the set up. I don't mean "flow" in the hippy sense either I mean literally. PG is quite watery and VG is more like syrup.

I've used ecigs that wouldn't work with ANY VG in the mixture because it became too thick. On the other hand, like Vapoor Eyes Er said, there are some ecigs which will leak if you just use PG because its so watery.

The best part about DiY eliquid is that you make exactly whats right for your set up. How do you do that? trial and error.

Best of luck to you!
